Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 80% profit split with a 4th-withdrawal performance-fee bonus. Two payout methods: Bi-Weekly (every 14 days, $100 min) or On-Demand (request anytime once the consistency and 2% profit thresholds are met). Hedging and stacking allowed within one account. Risk-management EAs permitted on MT5. Weekend/overnight holding allowed on Swing, One and Three plans and during Pro evaluation phases.
  • Spartan instant-funded entry from $9, MetaTrader 5 platform, 6% profit target on Instant/1-Step/2-Step, 12% max drawdown (1-Step/2-Step), up to 90% profit split, Weekly payouts, Fx/Commodities/Indices/Stocks/Crypto, Discord support, 24/7 support, multi-currency payouts (Visa/MasterCard/Bitcoin/ETH/USDT/UPI)
Main Drawbacks
  • Weekend holding triggers a soft breach (profit removal) on Pro funded (Qualified Analyst) accounts. EAs limited to risk-management tools only - no fully automated strategies, HFT or latency arbitrage (immediate account closure). Cross-account hedging and group trading with identical EAs are prohibited. On-demand payouts require passing the 40% Best Day consistency rule plus a minimum 2% gross profit.
  • Newly incorporated (April 2025) so limited operating track record; TrustPilot page carries a 'received regulatory attention' badge; only 14 TrustPilot reviews; sole platform is MetaTrader 5; some negative reviews cite dashboard 'LOADING ERROR' and support-email bounces; restricted countries include Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam, North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk
